6 个月Taylor, thanks for speaking to us at the Vistage event in Austin. I somewhat differ from your opinion on immigration reform. Immigration will resolve way more than half of the problem if the federal government gets the reform and infrastructure to handle the volume of applications. Americans underestimate how many real competent young professionals will move to the US tomorrow if they can. The good news is that the second half of this decade can be fantastic years if we have the right international trade and immigration policies. It is all about the economy. We fix this here and the world will thank us for the next 5 years.

6 个月These days, slow growth in employment means higher unemployment. We are living in different times when it comes to employment. We need immigration reform not now, but yesterday. Our demographics, while better than many places in the world, are missing a great opportunity to invest in a future strong economy. Legal immigration became and national security interest and Washington is not doing anything about it. We are also ignoring what is happening in Latin and South America. Another national security urgent issue not been addressed.
